If I have a gynecomastia breast reduction for men, are the results permanent, or can the man boobs grow back?
Answer: Can gynecomastia recur?
Gynecomastia which arises during puberty, does not typically recur after surgical correction in the absence of other inciting causes. If there is a significant fatty component, post-operative weight gain might result in some recurrence. If the condition arose from use of medication or anabolic steroids, further use could lead to recurrence.

Answer: Gynecomastia Thanks for the question. If necessary, gynecomastia can be repeated 2-3 times depending on the operation area. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Can Man Boobs Grow Back After Gynecomastia? Thanks for your question. I agree with my colleagues below. Re-accumulation of the fatty tissue on or along the male chest can happen with recurrent weight gain, so chest fitness and aerobic fitness is important in maintenance of male chest contouring. In most techniques, most all of the glandular breast tissue is removed, but a small bit of glandular tissue is usually left under the nipple to prevent a contour depression of the nipple. This small bit of glandular tissue usually does not recur; however, hormonal changes for whatever reason can lead to a glandular recurrence. I believe it is important to follow up annually with your plastic surgeon. I hope this is helpful.

Answer: Recurrence Once the surgery is done (lipo and gland excision) usually there has to be residual fatty tissue for contouring, this can increase in size due drugs (steroids, cannabis, certain meds) or gaining weight. The gland is removed but a small cuff is left behind the areola for contouring, this can also increase in size due to the same factors mention earlier.

Answer: Results are permanent unless... Fat and breast tissue that are removed are gone forever. Sometimes a patient will think that it has returned but the gland may not have been completely removed during surgery.However fat cells can re-expand if someone gains enough weight.And if patients are exposed to some steroids, medications, or develops a tumor - then it can return.
